Theoretical calculations

MD1. Optimization of the molecule in the ground electronic state reveals that the

system is almost planar and only two fluorine atoms and hydrogens of the methyl groups

are found symmetrically out the plane that contains the rest of the atoms. Therefore it

belongs to the C2v group of symmetry. Scheme S1 depicts the obtained geometry. The

full set of Cartesian Coordinates is given in the SI section.

A TDDFT calculation at the equilibrium geometry gives the energies of the lowest

singlet excited electronic states. The oscillator strengths between the ground and the

excited electronic states are also obtained. As those results give a direct measure of the

absorption intensity, a theoretical absorption spectrum of MD1 can be obtain (Scheme

S1).

Three active bands are predicted from the calculations (bands above 200 nm have

not been calculated as this high energy range has not been experimentally explored). The

most intensive one (571 nm, oscillator strength (f) 1.14) corresponds to the

HOMO→LUMO transition. The second, less intense band (f = 0.65), is predicted to peak

at 405 nm. This excitation mainly arises from the HOMO–2→LUMO transition. Finally

a third absorption band, almost as intense as the first one (f = 0.93), is found at 322 nm.

The main contribution to this excitation comes from the HOMO→LUMO+1 transition.

It has to be noted that the transition to the second excited electronic state (S2) peaking at

462 nm has small oscillator strength of 0.05 (Figure S2). The other two active bands

correspond to the excitation to the third (S3) and fourth (S4) excited states respectively.

At shorter wavelengths (higher energies) other states with small transition probabilities

are found. Among these S10 at 304 nm is the only one with a non-negligible oscillator

strength (f = 0.11). As seen in Figure S2 all these states are not making any relevant

contribution to the shape of the absorption spectrum. It is accepted that electronic states

with oscillator strength below 0.1 are “dark” states (i.e: states that cannot be accessed by

light irradiation of the ground electronic state).

The molecular orbitals implied in the allowed excitations are depicted in Figure

S3. It is clear that all orbitals are of π type. Obviously the most interesting transition is

the S0 to S1 as this one will mainly govern the photochemistry of MD1. Analysis of the

HOMO and LUMO states, the orbitals mainly implied in the S1 excitation, points to a

noticeable degree of internal charge transfer from the two lateral phenylacetylene rings

to the BODIPY central part of the molecule. Analysis of the Mulliken charges allows

quantifying this transfer: the total charge in the two phenylacetylene groups increases by

0.2378 u.a. upon S0 to S1 electronic excitation. The ulterior nuclear relaxation in S1

slightly increases this internal charge transfer up to 0.2750 a.u.

The optimized geometry in the S1 state does not noticeably differ from the one in

the ground state depicted in Figure S3. It maintains the C2v symmetry and only minor

differences in the bond distances are to be noted. The observed differences confirm the

change in bonding/antibonding character between the HOMO and LUMO for adjacent

atoms. The Cartesian Coordinates of this structure are given in the SI section. The final

energy of the structure gives a theoretical estimate of the main emission band of MD1

that is predicted to peak at 625 nm. The HOMO and LUMO, again the orbitals mainly

implied in the de-activation from S1 to S0, are also very similar to the ones depicted in

Figure S3.

Finally we have studied the rotation of the terminal phenyl groups in order to see

whether the two (equivalent) structures resulting from the rotation are freely

interconverting at room temperature. A reaction coordinate calculation reveals that the

maximum of energy along the phenyl rotation is at 90º (hardly a surprising fact) and that

the energy barrier for this rotation is very small, 1.00 kcal/mol, so that free rotation is

predicted at least in gas phase. The viscosity of the solvent, not considered in our

theoretical calculations could seriously hinder such a rotation.

MD2. Large MD2 molecular structure is a very symmetric one. Our calculations

at the ground electronic state confirm that this molecule belongs to the D3h symmetry

group (the three “branches” out of the central phenyl ring are equivalent). Scheme S2

depicts the theoretically calculated equilibrium geometry. The full Cartesian Coordinates

are to be found in the SI section.

At the equilibrium geometry in S0 the calculation of the lowest energy excited

electronic state reveals quite complicated pattern of excitations as some excited states are

now degenerate (as expected from the D3h symmetry group). In any case the absorption

spectra can be predicted from these results and the final shape is depicted in Figure S5.

Again, the transition to the first singlet excited electronic state S1 has the highest

probability. It peaks at 521 nm and has quite large oscillator strength of 1.38. Our results

also disclose that the S1 state is double degenerated. Disregarding the dark states, the next

allowed transition (f = 0.15) is found at 470 nm and it is also doubly degenerate. The

excited states accessed from this excitation are S7 and S8. The transitions form S0 to S3

and to S6 can be considered as dark states due to low oscillator strengths (less than 0.1).

Next bright states are two fully degenerate S10 and S11 states with f = 0.48 (401 nm). The

third almost degenerate state S12 also peaks at 401 nm but it has a smaller (f = 0.27)

transition probability. The next allowed transition is found at 372 nm. It corresponds to a

transition to a double degenerate state (S16 and S17) with modest activity (f = 0.22). The

last bright state in the relevant zone of the electromagnetic spectrum is found at 338 nm.

It is attributed to transitions from S0 to S23 and S24 (doubly degenerate) and it is one of

the most intensive bands (f=0.61). The energies of those last states are more prone to large

5

numerical errors as the theoretical calculation has included just 25 excited states. All other

states are dark states in the above described sense.

The analysis of the molecular orbitals implied in the electronic excitation is now

a quite complicated task. The largely extended π system of the molecule provokes that

the energy differences between adjacent orbitals are small and so the excitation pattern

that leads to a given excited state cannot be restricted to just one excitation (as done for

MD2 above). Additional complications in MD2 come from the high symmetry of the

molecule as now some orbitals are degenerate (this is the case of both the HOMO and the

LUMO). For instance, the most probable transition from S0 to S1 (and the degenerate S2)

has 14 excitations with coefficients higher than 0.1. A qualitative analysis of the

molecular orbitals involved in the transition in order to grasp the electronic rearrangement

upon excitation is therefore unattainable. Alternatively we will look at the charges in all

the atoms of the molecule in order to see relevant changes in the charge distributions upon

electronic excitation.

The optimization of MD2 in the S1 state does not apparently produce large

variations in the molecular geometry. However there are slight modifications of bond

distances that eventually break the whole symmetry of the molecule that only retains the

molecular plane of symmetry (CS). The most noticeable effect of the lowering in the

symmetry is that the molecular orbitals are no longer degenerate. Although, as the

deviations from the symmetric positions are tiny, there are very small energy differences

between the degenerate pairs of the excited states. This makes the analysis of the emission

spectrum, depicted in Figure S8, more complex. The lowest energy (highest wavelength)

transition to S1 is predicted to peak at 586 nm. It mainly involves the HOMO→LUMO

transition and is clearly allowed (f = 0.80), though it has not the highest probability as the

S0 → S2 transition, peaking at 529 nm has an oscillator strength of f = 0.91. S2 comes

Page 6: polymer material and its related chromophores Supporting ... · singlet excited electronic states. The oscillatorfromstrengths between the ground and the excited electronicthatstates

6

from a more complex pattern of excitation that mainly involves the HOMO→LUMO+1

excitation but with noticeable contributions of the HOMO-1 to both LUMO and

LUMO+2. A large number of other excitations with lower probabilities (0.13 < f < 0.27)

add up to a quite broad band that, according to the calculations, extends between 450 and

700 nm.

The second, high energy, band is seen in Figure S8 extending between 300 and

ca. 420 nm. It is also formed by several high and low-probability transitions. The most

intense ones peak at 407 nm (f = 0.70), 401 nm (f = 0.42), 348 nm (f = 0.68) and 340 nm

(f = 0.55). Excited states at higher energies (wavelength below 300 nm) have not been

calculated.

To have an idea of what electronic rearrangements are taking place upon

excitation to S1 we have analyzed the Mulliken atomic charges of the central phenyl ring

and the three acetylene groups that bond to the corresponding BODIPY units. There is a

noticeable charge transfer from the BODIPYs to the central part of the molecule that

amounts to 0.1495 a.u. without nuclear relaxation in the S1 state and to 0.2126 a.u.

between the S0 and S1 minimum energy geometries.

Finally we have also analyzed the internal rotation of MD2 in order to find

additional conformers in the ground electronic state. In that case there are three BODIPY

fragments that can rotate but just one additional rotamer different from the original one

that is obtained by rotation of just one BODIPY unit. As in the case of MD2, a reaction

coordinate calculation of the internal rotation of a BODIPY unit has been performed and

the obtained results show that the energy barrier for this internal rotation is very small

(1.21 kcal/mol) so that again free rotation is to be expected (at least in gas phase). Now

the rotamer obtained after 180 degrees rotation is not equivalent to the original one (as

one of the three BODIPY units points towards the reverse side) but the difference in

Page 7: polymer material and its related chromophores Supporting ... · singlet excited electronic states. The oscillatorfromstrengths between the ground and the excited electronicthatstates

7

energy between both rotamers is negligible (0.12 kcal/mol). We have also calculated the

absorption and emission electronic spectra of this additional equilibrium structure. Even

if now the ground electronic state geometry is no longer D3h and so there is no degeneracy

of the excited electronic states, the obtained results are almost identical to the ones of the

initial structure with differences between equivalent bands that never exceed 2 nm. The

only remarkable difference is that whereas otherwise degenerate bands appear almost at

the same wavelength (they differ by less than 2nm), the oscillator strengths may be now

quite disparate. However this difference has no repercussion on the predicted shape of the

electronic spectra that is virtually identical to the one depicted in Figure S8.
